We received an email from BBRC secretary today which I have copied below. It would be really helpful for us and BBRC if finders could fill in the standard rarities form and thereby also ensure that the bird is attributed to them.
A form can be submitted on line or printed here:

Hi Johns
We are getting to the time where if a submission hasn’t come into BBRC from 2014 then it may not make our Annual Report, published in October’s British Birds
The record(s) below are on Birdguides with a photo so I guess they are OK. However it would then be published (if I get time to extract the photo from BGuides, and there’s no guarantee that will happen) as ‘per birding information services’ rather than with the finder’s name. Also the dates are often a day or so out with BGuides.
So much better if you can persuade the finders to fill in the standard form and return to me. I attach one for you.
I hope to hear from you soon. I emphasize it really is getting very close to dead-line time J
Regards, Nigel Hudson (BBRC Secretary)
